Used to indicate the level of fuel in a tank, tank gauges need to operate accurately and efficiently every time. The best tank gauge for the job? OLE. Here are nine simple reasons why: Time-saving: Tank dipping can be a lengthy process, requiring a temperature measurement and correction mathematics. OLE tank gauges reduce the required number of physical dips, saving you precious time. Continuous indication: Because they use digital gauging, OLE gauges provide a continuous indication of tank contents. High accuracy: OLE gauges measure litres using hydrostatic pressure. This results in high accuracy, perfect for the ‘standard supply’ temperature (20ºC […]

The necessity to regulate stock, by means of calculating fuel volume on a daily basis, is something that all operators should be aware of. However, the correct handling of the thermometers and hydrometers that are used in the process of this fuel volume calculation is a practice that is often neglected. Seeing as temperature and density are huge determinants of fuel volume, accurate readings are crucial. With this in mind, the proper handling and maintenance of measuring equipment is imperative, as any damage to these measuring instruments can […]

Firstly the word goes out to Mr Uli Schaaf at DaimlerChrysler: “….All I know is that water contamination costs us and the industry a lot of money and nobody is ever responsible! Perhaps the chemical industry can come up with a Litmus type of test that can easily be done by anyone, including the drivers at the pump….” Anyone who works with diesel fuel, stored or otherwise, knows that water comes with the territory. Water can cause problems all year round, but when the weather turns colder, you can get new problems and also amplifications of other issues.When drivers call […]
